The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their rookie camp exhibition matches with another game against their provincial Battle of Alberta rivals, the Calgary Flames. This was the second half of a home-and-home that saw the two teams face off in Edmonton, Friday and Calgary, Sunday.
This second game had a similar ending to the previous one, a close one-goal loss that despite losing saw some very encouraging efforts from a number of prominent Oilers rookies. That was the main takeaway from these games. The Oilers have some players that can clearly standout and should be able to fit in well at both the National Hockey League (NHL) and American Hockey League (AHL) levels.
